MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS I WAS CLOSING THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF, I HEARD A POPPING SOUND TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. ONCE I MADE SURE THE WINDOWS AND ROOF CLOSED I LOOKED TO SEE THE BACK SEAT ARM REST PANELS HAD BLOWN AWAY FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE IT AT A DEALERSHIP NOW WAITING TO HEAR THERE EXPLANATION THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS IS IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP GETS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND DOESN'T GO BACK DOWN. I CANNOT SEE OTU OF THE REAR VIEW AND OBVIOUSLY CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER AND BOTH TOLD ME THE RECALL HAD BEEN ADDRESSED IN 2008 (THEY LLOOKED IT UP BY VIN). HOWEVER, IT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T SINCE THE TOP IS STILL STICKING. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHICH DEALERSHIP HAD MARKED IT AS A COMPLETED AND REPAIRED RECALL WHICH IS STRANGE. I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED ASAP SINCE I CANNOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDSHIELD! IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

ENGINE
MAYBE SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL. WHILE CAR IS STOPPED, IT WILL SUDDENLY JUMP. IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE THE CAR WOULD TAKE OFF.THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP WITHOUT ME STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT PICTURES. THERE ARE NO PICTURES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE ENGINES SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN BUT RESTARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. LATER THAT DAY THE RED WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO HAVE NO POWER AND THEN STALED I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR LIGHT WAS ON (WITCH I LOOKED UP IN OWNER MANUAL. WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO TESTED IT AND SAID I NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY.T HAT WAS REPLACED NOW 4 DAYS LATER I WAS ON A HOV LANE DOING 65 LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE SPUTTERED BUT DIDN'T STALL ARRIVED AT DESTINATION WHEN I GOT BACK IN CAR LIGHT WAS OUT AND CAR STARTED. DRIVING HOME I HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED . MY CONCERN IS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ESPECIALLY WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE LONG TUNNELS I TRAVEL THROUGH HOPEFULLY IT DOESN'T DO THIS TO ANYONE DRIVING THROUGH THEM AND ANYWHERE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT , THE INITIAL REPAIR TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY WAS $271 AND AN ADDITIONAL $88 FOR SAME ISSUE NOW THROTTLE PEDAL NEEDS REPLACED COST AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN

THE AIRBAG LIGHT OF MY VEHICLE CAME ON TWO DAYS AGO WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE HAVING ANY ACCIDENT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND AS SOON AS I LEFT MY DRIVEWAY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ONE. THE AIRBAG IS HOWEVER INTACT AND HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. I AM JUST SURPRISE AN AIRBAG WILL COME ONE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVING ANY CRASH.

POWER TRAIN
THIS MORNING I GOT TO WORK AND PUT MY VEHICLE TO PARK AND WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE THE SHIFT DOES NOT MOVE. TRYING TO PARK PARKED MY VEHICLE. SHIFTER CANNOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND THAT, DODGE/CHRYSLER, ALREADY HAVE SOME RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. RECALL #K39. I CALLED CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403 AND THEY INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER #K39 RECALL. IT IS A BIG COINCIDENCE THEY HAVE A RECALL ON 2005 THROUGH 2007 MODEL YEAR DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH A FLOOR SHIFTER, BUT NOT ON THIS VEHICLE. I WILL KEEP THIS VEHICLE PARK WHEN AN INVESTIGATION IS CONDUCTED ON THIS ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER USED THE SAME PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS VEHICLES IN RECALL #K39, IT WILL BE VERY LIKELY THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND ISSUE THE SAME RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION.
